Biography

Lucy held her breath and bit her lip as she peered over the rim of the chosen box. All the odd thumps, noises and lights coming from it had ceased the instant she tore the ribbon off. She had kicked, shaken, and prodded that box for days. All the other boxes had faded from her interest weeks ago. The bright-ribbon one was too garish, the quiet box was too dull, the others she felt certain were already empty. This box, however, was different. She lay quietly beside it before finally deciding to open it. Suddenly she felt herself being pulled inside. Her last thought was: This Better Be Good.

LUCY is the trio of TraceyDey, JennSunset, and ColleenCostello. They have graced numerous stages since their launch into the universe: Hugh’s Room, The Cameron House, The Rennaissance Cafe, and The Church at Berkley. Collectively they brought festival experience from Mariposa and Toronto City Roots as well as local Toronto experience at classics such as C’est What, Holy Joe’s, The Reverb, Free Times and Graffiti’s.

Before LUCYmusic existed, they were performing with other musicians around the globe. It began in Japan with the disco-punk band Gaijin. There was the jalopy band Mobile Couch in Victoria, BC while Ontario experienced the folk music of Walk Left Stand Right and the soul and R& B of Have Mercy. Other experiences include some ska with King Kong Giro and rock with A Boy Named Diane.

If LUCYmusic was fast food it would be of the tasty variety, with vegetarian options of course. You’ll find LUCY grilling some hamburger ska, veggie dog jazz, and sloppy joe folk. LUCYmusic will serve it up with fixin’s like clarinet lettuce, heartwrenching jalapenos, and rockin’ special sauce. LUCY’s whole grain buns are freshly baked and buttered to punkerfection!! You can simmer down with their lush vocal sundaes and it’s an experience guaranteed to leave you satisfied!

“LUCY! What are you doing out there on the porch! Come out of that box this instant! What is that racket? Don’t you think you’re a little old to be playing with toys? If I catch you eating in there...Are you listening to me? LUCY!!!”
